BRIEF BIOGRAPHY
Professor Yew-Kwang Ng was born in 1942 in
Malaysia. As a young child, he was described by his uncle as '3 quarters'
(not complete). He also spent 8 years to complete the 6-year primary school,
repeating both grades 2 & 3. He spent most of his high-school years
actively engaging in underground left-wing activities. After the turbulence
of strikes and demonstrations and several close misses of being arrested
or expelled, he was lucky to graduate with a B.Com. from Nanyang University
in 1966 (and later a Ph.D. from Sydney University in 1971). Though reputed
to be one of the best students among his classmates, his academic scores
were rather mediocre, until he published a paper in Journal of Political
Economy in 1965 and gave a copy to each of his professors.
He holds a personal chair at Monash University and is a fellow of the
Academy of Social Sciences in Australia since 1980. He has worked in welfare
economics, proposed mesoeconomics (a simplified general equilibrium analysis
with both micro and macro elements) and welfare biology. He also collaborates
with Prof. Xiaokai Yang on an inframarginal analysis of division of labour.
He has published more than one hundred and fifty refereed papers in economics
and a dozen in biology, mathematics, philosophy, psychology, and sociology
and more than a hundred articles in the popular press. Books published
include Welfare Economics (London: Macmillan, 1979 and 1983), Mesoeconomics:
A Micro-Macro Analysis (London: Wheatsheaf, 1986), Social Welfare and
Economic Policy (London: Wheatsheaf, 1990), Specialization and Economic
Organization (Amsterdam: North-Holland, 1993, with X. Yang), Increasing
Returns and Economic Analysis, ed. (London: Macmillan, 1998, with Nobel
laureate K. Arrow and X. Yang), Economics and Happiness (Collected papers
in Chinese) (Taipei: Maw Chang, 1999), Efficiency, Equality, and Public
Policy: With a Case for Higher Public Spending (London: Macmillan, 2000),
Welfare Economics: Towards a Complete Analysis, (London: Macmillan, forthcoming).
He also published a Kungfu novel in Chinese serialized in Nanyang Business
Daily (Malaysia) and as a book The Unparalleled Mystery, Beijing: Writers
Press, 1994.
